I can see this is going downhill very quickly for me. [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Don't you mean it's sinking fast?

I didn't vote because Peaquod is an American Indian/Native American tribe, like Donut says, and the Pequod was the whaler in Moby Dick.

Indeed, so in theory, if OTP is on the pequod, he might be Quequeg!!
Or however you spell it
Is it true OTP? Or are you Ahab? Or one of the many other character's?? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ooh, he might be Starbuck. He had the best name. Too bad he's a coffee house, now.

Hm, I dunno about the best name, Moby Dick is a great name [img]tongue.gif[/img] pity that one is discounted since they never got Moby actually on the Pequod. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Heh heh TM, true enough, but Moby sure did a job on the Pequod. Can any one say "Ramming Speed"! I have to say that Gregory Peck did an excellent job portraying old peg leg Cap'n Ahab.

Hi onthepequod!
Hi Moni! Good to see you again! I hope you and your small wild life (or rather domesticated-animal) reserve are doing well.
